My friend Shakuntai Siberia once said, “Things do not give us true happiness.” I used to wonder, “Is this really so?” But after experiencing one thing, I think it’s _________.
We live in a new strange world. My new dress hangs in my closet (衣橱). I don’t often _________ it. My expensive car is parked—I don’t go anywhere. My gym membership card is on my desk—I haven’t used it for a long time. Siberia was right—things do not make me _________.
Then how can we find happiness? Siberia said it’s easy—you just have to _________ and be nice to everyone, even strangers.
Finally, I decided to try it. I entered a chat group. There my neighbors talked about their problems and I listened to them _________. Before the conversations ended, I wrote, “Dear neighbors, I hope you’re having a great day! Everything will be all right.” I added a smiley emoji. A few minutes later, my phone received lots of _________ from my neighbors. People_________ me and wished me a good day, too.
I’ve made so many people happy with just a few _________. If each of us says one nice thing, there will be so much _________ in the world!” That’s why I have an idea of writing something nice every day to a friend or a neighbor. We can ____________ each other during the difficult time. How great it is!
